    Whew! Thanks ViperClub.org - Power Steering Cap

    Whew! I am planning on going to Redline raceway tonight and run my viper on the 1/8 mile track. I'm cleaning up the car, checking the tire pressure, getting everything ready to do some runs. Nothing big - I've got a stock Viper - I'm hoping to run an 8 or maybe just a little under. But to...

    Why high end car dealers are so stupid ?

    ViperFreak2: I originally wanted a triple black vette. At one point I had even negotiated the whole deal. We all agreed on the price and everything. I came back to the dealership to actually purchase the car. When I went to the back with the salesman he stated "you do know that there is a...

    Why high end car dealers are so stupid ?

    First time (and last) I ever went into a BMW dealership the salesman jumped on me. I was young and wanted to look at some of the used cars. He was real short with me but at least answered some of my questions. I had the money, but didn't like his "financing" plans or options so I told him I...

    Time for a vote on VIPER magazine

    Viper only. But I guess the Gen II viper is already getting "old" so they have to do new stuff... Sometimes I feel like I bought a dinosour and it's a beautiful 2002 RT/10 :mad: It's amazing how fast things move and change. The Gen III must really be getting old now that it's been out for...

    Is $50k good price for 2001 RT/10 w/35000 miles?

    Prices are terrible right now (buyers market). I bought my 2002 RT/10 in 2002 new for mid $60s (7 miles). I paid too much. I'm told now it's only worth mid 50s - with only 9K miles. But then it's not about the investment - I love driving the car - that is what's all about - "DRIVING the...

    newbie questions about hard tops on the RT/10

    2002 RT/10. 1. Canvas top never seen rain - don't know. 2. Hardtop seals great. Been in a downpour - not a drop of water got inside the car. Hardtop did not leak at all. 3. Car is quieter with hard top on (to the driver - it doesn't affect the sound for those outside the car :smirk: )...

    Whew - it finally happened - now I can really enjoy my snake!!

    OK - it finally happened. I got caught in the rain Saturday night. Not just a little sprinkle - but a down pour. I have been very careful to never take my snake out with more than a 0% chance of rain. It's a car which commands such respect. However, the pressures off. Finally I can now...

    Part 1 Who lets their wife/Gf drive their Viper?

    Same here, my girlfriend drove it when I had the regular seat that adjusted. Now that I have the 2" lower kit on the seat she can't comfortably reach the pedals - even with them adjusted forward all the way. Oh well - that's life. So I am the only one who drives the snake. She says it's an...

    Holy Smokes, I just bought my Dream Viper!

    Best color ever!!! VERY, VERY fast and it's invisible to long range radar preparation. i.e. Red and yellow show up miles before the graphite metallic. By the time I'm in range my Valentine has given me full warning or I've blown by the unsuspecting officer who is looking for those red and...

    HRE wheels - Charcoal??

    Anybody have a picture of the charcoal HRE (547) wheels on a graphite viper? I know polished is a simple choice, but I am considering the charcoal finish to go on my graphite metalic snake. Before I drop down the cash, anyone have a sample?

    Valentine One Radar Detector and Windshield Suction Cups

    Once it's stuck - it stays. I have yet to have the valentine fall after it's been stuck for a minute or so. Sometimes when I take it right out of the glove box it takes a minute to get a good seal. But once it's stuck - it's stuck. BEST DANG detector in my opinion. It's saved my b* a few...

    Tools To Cut Stock Cat

    I modified an old skill saw - tore off the brackets and the blade guides. Put in a metal cutting blade. It took me a long time to figure out how I was going to cut off the cats since I did not have the right saw. I actually bought a neumatic cutting wheel (it really sucked and would never...

    Center console cracking problem!! 2 vipers so far!

    Mine is cracked. I did it when getting in without the top on. Sat my palm on the spot and "crack." It doesn't look bad - yet, but I assume it will get worse. I am going to try and get it fixed under warranty next time I go into the dealer for an oil change. Let's see what happens.....

    1/8th Mile Times?

    OK - I went back and found my times for the first time I took my viper to the track. If I can run an 8.03 anybody can do it - first time ever on a drag strip. I didn't care about reaction time, so just ignore how long I sat at the line...... Just think what my snake could do with an...

    1/8th Mile Times?

    I ran an 8.03 on stock tires. I've got a Corsa with high flow cats. Traction was my biggest problem. This was the only time I ran my viper. The other times were much worse!!! This was my best time - launched good and hit all gears. I figure with practice I should be able to hit 8.0 or better.

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    I don't think a vette is an inexpensive car - cheap yes - but not inexpensive. Anything over $40K is a lot for a car. That's not the point. A couple of years ago I dreamed of owning a vette. Triple black convertible. Of course you can't get the 06 in a convertible so I'd have to accept the...

    How late into the season do you all drive???

    No season in Dallas. I love driving in Dec and Jan - cool air, clear skies. I just have to avoid a few rainy or icy days - but they don't hang around long... Year round enjoyment... RT-10 top off in cool weather (the heater works GREAT) - is really nice. In fact, I prefer the cooler weather...

    Installing RT High Flow cats

    I don't think so. Just got the reducer from JonB as part of the whole pack. Cats, Corsa cat-back. Definitely need the 2.5 to 3 reducer. I just had my local Pronto Muffler guys do the welding. The fit was actually tight enough on the install that I could drive it to the muffler place and not...

    Texas no front plate crackdown????

    I built the brackets last night for the front plate bracket. Sure is going to stop a LOT of airflow to the radiator. I sure hope this doesn't dramatically affect my heat build up in the summer. Dallas gets pretty hot in the summer. Guess I'll just have to try it and see. I'll post pictures...

    Stock half-shaft - should I worry?

    Yeah - but with 655 and 905. I was wondering if the Stock 480 hp is enough to twist the stock half shafts on pilots. Seems I'd need a lot more torque than stock....

    Texas no front plate crackdown????

    Oh well. Guess I am going to give in to the pressure. Living in the Addison, Allen, Plano, Dallas area is enough to know that there are enough friendly police officers that have nothing better to do then pull me over for no front plate. :( I'm one of the those (dare I say it :o ) "budget"...
